Blow-off valve

I love the sound blow-offs make, is there any way to put one on a naturally aspirated engine, or are they for s/c'ed only? Also, I'm not 100% as to what they do, so any info would be helpful. Thx

They relieve pressure from your forced induction system to control the PSI. I don't think it would be possible to use one with a NA system.

BOV's are only applicable on Turbo or centrifugal S/C.

NA and roots s/c are not able to use BOV's.

arg. sorry about that then. just the talk of blow off vavles and roots type, the two are generally associated with turbo ( which until latly, except for buick, has always been an import thing) and the blower would be put with muscle cars. I guess the question is does anyone ever feel more like a muscle car than the usual import? :cry:

I don't even consider Toyota's an import anymore. Most Toyota's sold in the US and built in the US and they are planning on building a huge truck plant in Texas.

centrifugal buddy :wink:

those are the s/c's that have snail housings like turbines.

by **Mole** » Thu Aug 28, 2003 12:39 pm

Engine design: Mostly Japan, Europe for "race" engines
Car design: Mostly Japan, some Europe, only Solara is 100% in USA
Factories: Almost all countries. Why? To reduce cost of shipping.

Everything is still Japanese: small and efficient, but being built in the USA doesn't mean it's domestic. EX: The FREMONT, CA plant. It is shared by Toyota and GM... however, Toyota products that come out of there are still superior. They use the same machines. Why? Because of R&D =D also because Toyota has harder hiring standards(and higher pay)... but yea =P
